n“The night’s beautiful, y’all beautiful. My friends, please open your eyes and take in this once in a lifetime race tonight!”

nScar Face held the loudspeaker and yelled in front of the three sports cars.

nThe crowd went wild, driving the atmosphere to the highest point.

n“The racer driving the Lamborghini, Butterfly Blue!”

n“The racer driving the Ferrari, East Tsim Sha Tsui Racer God!”

n“And finally, our mystery racer driving the Bugatti Veyron, Flipping Snail!”

nScar Face may not have the looks but he surely knew how to work up a crowd. Just a few words of introduction had the crowd running hot with emotion.

nAs time has it, it was 10.55pm!

nPrior to the race, Li Yi got down the car to exchange places with the woman in black.

nHe was no racer. With the skills he has, he was only good for fooling around but this was a competition, it was way beyond him.

n“Buddy, the race is about to begin. Please return to your seat,” Scar Face told Li Yi.

n“She’s the one racing tonight.”

n“Sorry bud, your name’s registered. You can’t just switch the driver.”

nLi Yi was shocked.

nWTH? No changing drivers?

n“Hey hey, why can’t we switch drivers? I’m Flipping Snail,” The woman in black snorted in dissatisfaction.

nScar Face was unmoved,” Sorry, if you insist on driving, I’ll have to disqualify you from the race.”

nUh oh, a slip-up…

n“Ha, don’t tell me this guy is a noob driver?”

n“Judging by the looks of it, he probably is.”

n“Really?”

n“Come one come all, let’s make an outside bet of this. I bet that he’ll lose!”

n“I’m betting that he’ll lose too!”

n“F*ck, all betting on him to lose? Who’s betting him to win? Any dealers?”

nIt was chaos around again.

nLi Yi helplessly sat back on the driver’s seat, flashing the woman in black a bitter smile.

n“Looks like we’re gonna lose.”

nThe woman in black scraped his face with her fingernails to humiliate him again, “You’re the one losing, not me. I’m only responsible for providing the car. We’ll divide the money if we win but if you lose, well it’s totally on you.”

nA misstep…

nThe cars on both sides had ignited their engines, revving the engine to a purr. Li Yi was forced to start his engine.

n“Ah, 30 million!”

nThe woman in black corrected him, “Well, it could be 50 million. If my car’s scratched, I’m selling it to you.”

nLi Yi’s jaw dropped, “Sister Ocean, just like that?”

n“I’m not kidding,” The woman in black covered her mouth and laughed.

nThe woman in black was a big-time celebrity, Xu Man’s twin sister, Xu Yue. Li Yi was going to find a professional racer to join the race. He had Xu Man to help with the networking but Xu Yue ended up driving the car over.

nXu Yue said so herself that she was great with cars, way better than she was in games. Whether or not it was true, actions spoke louder than words.

n“This is the mountain road, the entire journey takes half an hour. The hardest stage is the last U-shape bend. It’s called the Hand of Death there. Rumor has it that 17 racers died on that spot.”

nMoonlight Ocean pointed at the car’s GPS as she briefed Li Yi on the route.

nLi Yi scratched his head, “Do you think I’ll win?”

nMoonlight Ocean nodded, “You have a chance.”

n“A slim chance?”

nMoonlight Ocean nodded and added, “I mean, if they both ram into each other, you’ll be number one.”

n“Go to hell!”

nAt 11 o’clock sharp, Scar Face fired the gun in his hand. The Lamborghini and Ferrari F430 took out like an arrow released from its bow…

nThe king of race cars, Bugatti Veyron sprinted forward before stalling. It started again before accelerating but stalling once again. The Lamborghini and Ferrari F430 were long gone as the Bugatti Veyron slowly made its way.

nNo hustle no bustle. Sure and steady. How carefree and leisurely.

n“F*ck, is this a race car?”

n“This is not a race car, this… this is… going for a drive!”

n“F*ck me, he’s not a hustler, he’s… that **!”

nSpectators were booking bets furiously on stage.

nLi Yi stepped on the accelerator. Beads of sweat were dripping down his forehead. It was not his intention to stall the engine but the more nervous he grew, the more blunders he made. He was good in gaming but it was a different story when it came to race cars…

nMany could drive a regular car like a race car but Li Yi was the only one who could drive the king of sports cars, Bugatti Veyron Super Sports like a tractor…

nThere was a little curve up ahead. Li Yi turned the steering wheel with carefree poise yet he overestimated his force, so much so the car went crosswise into the curve, sliding past the race tracks completely.

nMoonlight Ocean smacked her forehead, “My god, if we were in some professional race, we’re dead meat. Please, even if you’re that bad, you can’t just land the car crosswise on the tracks. If there was an incoming car, how are we supposed to avoid it?”

nTst tst—

nLi Yi spun the steering wheel in reverse order but the extra turn caused the Bugatti Veyron to roar and twirl another round before doing a 180 degree turn on the tracks…

nLi Yi’s driving skills had every spectator at the stand utterly dumbfounded…

nTst tst—

nTst tst—

nButterfly Blue and East Tsim Sha Tsui Racer God had made one lap yet Li Yi was still spinning around in circles.

n“Snail… Sounds about right.”

n“Snail! Ah ah ah ah, I’m flipping out just watching him…”

n“Can you do it or not?”

n“I… can.”

nLi Yi’s face was burning red, moving the steering wheel inch by inch to adjust the wheels.

n“This car’s hypersensitive.”

nListening to him talk, Moonlight Ocean rolled her eyes back.

nThe Bugatti Veyron Super Sports picked up speed, zooming ahead like a flash of lightning.

n“It’s moving, it’s moving! This is awesome!”

n“It’s not the racer that’s good, it’s the acceleration of a Bugatti Veyron that’s awesome!”

nThe spectators on the stand were voicing their opinions.

nLi Yi stepped on the gas, right to the bottom. It was just a straight road up ahead, no turns.

n“Time to slow down, it’s a T-shaped bend ahead!” Moonlight Ocean reminded him.

nLi Yi decelerated in advance, carefully making the bend.

n“Oh you’re just so slow, just let… me do it!”

nWatching Li Yi messing up really brought out Moonlight Ocean’s nerves.

nThey could not even catch Butterfly Blue and East Tsim Sha Tsui Racer God’s tails. The way this was going, they were going to lose.

n“You? How are you gonna do it? Stop the car? Oh please, they’re watching us. Don’t rush it. I am confident they’ll crash into each other.”

nLi Yi was filled with confidence.

nMoonlight Ocean felt a migraine coming, “Do you really believe that?”

n“I believe it’s my intuition!” Li Yi was brimming with confidence.

nAlthough Li Yi did not know much about Butterfly Blue, he remembered she once said in the interview that she got into an accident with a top race car driver during a race, hence the hospitalization.

nTop race car driver? Was the undefeated East Tsim Sha Tsui Racer God considered one?

nThe deduction he made from his past life’s memory fueled his confidence!

n“Let go, let me!”

nLi Yi was sure of himself but Moonlight Ocean did not put her money on him. Whatever she said earlier was a joke. She never wanted to lose.

nMoonlight Ocean straddled on top of Li Yi’s lap, taking charge of the steering wheel and commandeering the vehicle.

nThe Bugatti Veyron Super Sports revved up a storm before accelerating to beautifully drift back and forth through the S-shaped bend.

n“Wow—”

nBack on the stands, the ooh’s and aah’s could be heard.

n“This noob actually knows how to do an S drift? What a sight.”

n“That’s some rad skills! Now, that’s something to watch!”

nThe Bugatti Veyron Super Sports accelerated in the shortest time. Its title as king of race cars definitely lived up to its name. Moonlight Ocean’s driving was mesmerizing to Li Yi. No matter the track section, she never decelerated, drifting to the left then to the right, maintaining a high velocity as they went.

n“What’s a race, you say? Now, this is a race!”

nMoonlight Ocean cried out in excitement, stepping on the accelerator to its maximum, picking up some mad speed…

nThe Bugatti Veyron was moving fast then slow, putting on a show for the audience on the stand.

n“Is this is a noob or expert?”

n“Oh please, can he do it or not? If he can’t he should just quit. Nothing to see there.”

nThere were moans and groans overtaking the stands.

nThe Bugatti Veyron was picking up speed again. One has to admit, Moonlight Ocean has quite the skills. She never decelerated. Although Li Yi has wasted the first couple minutes, her drifting in full speed over curves and bends had her successfully catching up to the tails of Butterfly’s Lamborghini and East Tsim Sha Tsui Racer God’s Ferrari F430 after fifteen minutes.

nThe two vehicles ahead were biting hard at each other, with East Tsim Sha Tsui Racer God in the lead and Butterfly sticking close on the back. Both of them were drifting and spun with the same movement at exactly the same time. They were traveling at the same speed. The distance between was no more than a car’s length!

n“Both of them are experts, hahaha, now this is fun!”

nMoonlight Ocean licked her lips and grew excited.
